NXTFIX – Introduction
NXTFIX mortar is a semi premix high quality mortar for jointing and bonding of AAC blocks. NXTFIX mortar semi premix consists of cement, graded sand and specialised polymers which combine to give superior strength, water retention and stability. It replaces the conventional method and material of jointing mortar which requires a 12-18 mm thickness with a revolutionary 2-3 mm joint thickness. NXTFIX mortar only requires addition of water before application to prepare the product for use, reducing the hassle of measuring and maintaining various individual elements to create a conventional mortar.
Key Features
HIGH BOND STRENGTH
Special polymer imparts high adhesive strength increasing overall masonry strength & load bearing capacity.
NO CURING REQUIRED
Due to water retention polymers, curing is not essential after Application
ECONOMICAL
Quantity of NXTFIX required is 3 times lesser than conventional Mortar
NEGLIGIBLE SEEPAGE
Due to texture Chemical bond and properties of NXTFIX mortar, seepage water penetration through joints is negligible.
Semi Premix
NXTFIX Mortar are semi-premix solutions which only require the addition of water prepare for application
EASY APPLICATION
Reducing the hassle of mixing various raw materials, saves the wastage and ensures the higherÀow ability and water retention properties.
